It is very important that you understand the laws of your state and assuming the individual will educate themselves is simply crazy. Please get a copy of the laws, learn them and I suggest carrying a copy with you in your vehicle.

Agree. My brother in-law got his permit simply by having a nice chat with the local sheriff. I doubt he ever educated himself on things like lawful use for self defense, reciprocity, off limit places etc.

Lots of folks don't like the training requirement for a license because of the theoretical (and perhaps real) Constitutional issues. But as a practical matter, we all need to be responsible. And that means learning the laws.

Best way is to take a class. Second best way is to take a class.
Third best way is to visit here, then take a class. Fourth, take a class and participate here.

MCL 28.432 An individual can carry, possess, use or transport a pistol belonging to another individual, if the pistol is properly licensed and inspected under the Act, and the individual carrying, possessing, using or transporting the pistol has obtained a license to carry a pistol concealed permit from Michigan.

I don't think that is correct. My understanding is that only the owner of the gun can carry the gun without a CPL, however any CPL holder can carry anybody else's gun whether they have a CPL or not.
Could you provide a link to any statue that says otherwise?

Opps, I should have read all the post. Yeah that was the way I understood it CPL holders can borrow guns from other people but not the other way around.

Same here in Michigan except I have heard that there is a down state DA that likes to try and limit the CPL (Concealed Pistol License)to one gun since according to him it doesn't say CPsL (Concealed Pistol(s) License. Good thing he hasn't figured out it also doesn't say anything about revolvers. I actually do wish we had a CCW because then I wouldn't have to open carry my folding knife. Michigan knife laws are not as well thought out as the gun laws. We have state exemption for gun laws but not for knife laws so cities can make whatever knife laws they want.

In Oklahoma you qualify with either a derringer, revolver, or automatic. If you qualify with the automatic you can carry any of them. With the others only the other. Most instructors will loan you an auto so that you can carry whatever.

Wisconsin handles CCL people knowing the laws by including a copy of all CC laws with the license applications. that sheet has to be signed & included when you mail it in. That way they can get around the fact that some of us don't have to take the mandatory CC class due to Military Veteran or other status. There's no excuse from not knowing the law then.

We can carry any legal firearm or weapon without proof of ownership. We have no firearms registration here. I've carried my buddy's revolver my son's (my former) Glock 23 & 21 & of course my own handguns completely legally. In my view that's the way it should be.

My son, a cop, on the other hand must register any gun he wants to carry off duty other than his issued firearm with the PD.

In Oklahoma you qualify with either a derringer, revolver, or automatic. If you qualify with the automatic you can carry any of them. With the others only the other. Most instructors will loan you an auto so that you can carry whatever.

You can qualify with AUTOMATICS (machine guns) in OK? Or, do you mean SEMI-automatics?

The kind of law that says you can only use what's on your lic. is the dumbest thing in my opinion because in a emergency I would not like to look to make sure I can legally defend myself or family. IMO that puts a undue restriction on ones rights but again that's just me, just a minute I don't think my new gun is on my lic. let me check. Kinda like let me run to the other lock box to get ammo to load gun

If i remember correctly,in S.C. when they 1st started the CCP program,you had to carry what you qualified with.I'm glad they changed that.A friend of mine gives the CCP class and has a couple of 22's,he will let you use for the qualifying.
